Description: In Descending into Greatness, Hybels and writer Rob Wilkins take the example of Christ's downward journey as it was meant to be: the radical and essential answer for every Christian. Moving down is never an easy matter that can be reduced into a formula. It involves a life committed to discipleship. Descending into Greatness introduces you to the stories of modern men and women committed to advancing the kingdom of God: from the pro football player, to a medical missionary, to a businessman wrestling with priorities in the world of finance.
Notes: Includes discussion guide.
